Hyperspace transponder
From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
- "The GAG thought they had all the best kit, but she had a few devices that could get past them, using older technology, frequencies, and relays they'd never spot. A surveillance system using technology wasn't looking for devices almost as basic as a code flashed with a piece of broken mirror. Tech could be blind."
- ―Mara musing about the transponder's efficiency[src]
A hyperspace transponder was a device that allowed messages to be sent through hyperspace. Some transponders were built small enough that they became handheld devices. Hyperspace transponders were not always reliable in sending messages.
[edit] History
Jedi Master Mara Jade Skywalker used at least two hyperspace transponders in her lifetime; one she used as a homing beacon during her time as Emperor's Hand (this transponder was hidden in a vibroblade that she bequeathed to her son and was promptly utilized as a tracking device afterward) and the other she used to track Lumiya after their vicious duel on the moon of Hesperidium.
